FINISHED!!!!!!!!! Well Almost

I worked on my little table topper (Inspiration Sew, Mamma, Sew) yesterday, got it all finished but the binding. I have the binding sewed to the front but just pinned so that is why it looks a little wonky, turned out just how I pictured it, it is a table topper for a book shelf in my sewing room and my sewing room is pretty much vintage so I wanted this to look vintage, even machine quilted it myself (I AM SPOILED) I have this awesome long arm quilter who does EVERYTHING FOR ME, all I have to do is sew the top, take the top, my backing fabric and the fabric I want for the binding and she provides the batting, sandwiches, quilts and BINDS FOR ME, so this is my practice project and I am thrilled with the way it turned out. :)Thanks to Sew Mamma Sew for the idea. And NO IT ISN'T WIDER AT THE TOP Than it is at the bottom, must be because the strips are different widths, I looked at this photo and thought JEEZ, how can it be that much different, but measured it and it is the same width the whole length down. :)WHEW, had me going for a minute there.

My Life In General

Hi, I am married (3o years WOW THAT LONG) we have 3 Daughters, live in a big old farmhouse in what I like to call "God's Country" the heart of farm country, the hills of southwestern Wisconsin. Our Daughters are all grown up, they come and go (don't get me started on that) we have horses and like to play with them when we have time. We both work full time, and don't have alot of time to spend doing fun stuff, I keep telling him I need to retire so I have more time for my hobbies, he tells me "Honey you retire and you won't have any hobbies because you won't have any money" HE ISN'T MUCH FUN!!!!! I hand quilt (Not very well), hand dye wool, hand applique, love to read, love to listen to music, love to putz around the farm and have lots more interests, sort of the Jill of all trades, master of none. :) So get your favorite cup of coffee, tea or whatever, sit in your favorite rocking chair, bring along your hand quilting needles and enjoy MY LIFE IN GENERAL. Glad to meet you. Come and visit any time.
